A family business since 1875
Vision
We want to be the leading point of contact in the market for foam, rubber, foam rubber and sponge rubber. We’re ready to tackle all new projects that come our way, to take on challenges great and small, to answer technical questions, and to further refine the materials we use.
Mission
At EKI, we have confidence in our capacity to give our customers the greatest possible freedom of choice in terms of material, shape, size and finish. We do our utmost to achieve this. Our secret is that we think in terms of solutions rather than limitations. Customisation is pretty much standard for us. You ask, and we either have it or we can make it with a short delivery time. How can we help you?
As a manufacturer, EKI has all of its production in-house. This enables us to supply professional products that are consistent in quality, with great customer service and short delivery times throughout Europe. This goes for standard and customised products, in small and large quantities.

The only manufacturer of foam rubber rolls in the Benelux region
Why choose EKI?
Our facility houses every step of the whole production process. We take care of everything from producing rolls and sheets ourselves, where possible, to the addition of various types of adhesive layers and conversion to a wide range of shapes. For instance, we manufacture materials in tapes and reels, and we can produce various shapes using punching, waterjetting and cutting techniques. We always purchase all of our materials directly from the raw material supplier, which means that we know everything about the composition and quality of the materials. At EKI, we like to maintain full control over this so that we can continue to guarantee you the best quality.
In addition, we are the only manufacturer of foam rubber rolls in the Benelux region! Maintaining short delivery times throughout Europe is very important to us. Thanks to our own extensive stock of basic materials and a flexible production team who can rapidly convert this initial stock into finished products, we’re almost always able to guarantee this short delivery time. Our expert customer team is ready to help with any queries about products or orders. If you’d like to know more about us, please contact us telephone +31(0)243773378 or e-mail info@eki.nl.

What does EKI stand for?
Not only does the abbreviation EKI stand for our name – Europese Kunststof Industrie – it is also a direct link to what we value as a company. The E stands for Empathy, the K stands for Knowledge and the I stands for Innovation.
Empathy concerns our capacity to empathise with our customer. We really want to get to know our customer better – not only in terms of which industry they’re in, but also what their previous experiences have been with other suppliers, and what they’re looking for in a business relationship. We make every effort to put ourselves in our customers’ shoes in order to meet their needs, as well as to try and surprise them with positive features they didn’t yet realise they needed.
Understanding each other then prompts the question as to whether we can help the customer with our current knowledge, skills and equipment. This concerns knowledge both about our products and about whether we have the right material and can deliver it in the desired form. In other words, the knowledge required to say whether we’re able to meet the customer’s needs. In this, honesty and transparency are our highest priorities! If our current knowledge or available equipment is not adequate, we assess whether we can achieve the desired solution quickly through innovation.
This innovation can mean something like adding a new material to our product programme, for example. Alternatively, we might test whether we can cut particularly challenging shapes on our machines. Our ultimate aim is to help customers quickly and effectively, including with requests that we do not deal with on a daily basis.

Innovation
We work hard to ensure that our organisation, production process and range are as innovative as possible by continuously expanding our broad product range based on market developments and our customers’ wishes. At the moment, our products can be converted in a wide variety of ways. We continue to develop in this area by striving for greater accuracy and faster production. This means far fewer deviations and a consistently short delivery time! Our most innovative machine is the one we use to produce rolls of foam rubber. Thanks to this machine, we are the only manufacturer of foam rubber rolls in the Benelux region. In addition, we work constantly to increase the sustainability of our organisation. We recycle as much waste as possible, and we are currently increasing the sustainability of the energy facilities at our new premises by installing solar panels.
And check out our newest innovation: our e-commerce online shop! We have switched over from the old-fashioned system of placing orders by e-mail or telephone to a fully integrated modern online shop that enables you to place your orders online. Our new website is also intended to be a knowledge base for our customers where they can receive answers to all of their questions. The aim of our new online shop is to simplify the ordering process and offer more freedom in terms of the dimensions and shapes in which the material can be ordered and supplied. If you have not yet tested our new online configurator, we urge you to take a look and find out the options available to you if you place an order with us now.
